Welcome to Northmont Elementary. We are part of La Mesa-Spring Valley Schools. We are looking forward to a successful 2025-26 school year we have ahead of us. At Northmont, all staff members are passionate about education and helping students be successful both academically, socially and emotionally.
At Northmont, we live the Knight’s Way, which is Respectful, Responsible, and Safe. To ensure that our students are engaged learners, we provide a safe and welcoming environment where students focus on the rigorous curriculum and high-quality instruction provided in each classroom at Northmont. The Common Core State Standards (CCSS) drive classroom instruction, and our staff combine this with their talents and dedication to create a rich learning environment every day.
Our emphasis on being respectful and responsible citizens goes hand-in-hand. We treat each other and our school with respect. This means that when problems arise, we use restorative practices to resolve the issues. We take care of each other through empathy and compassion. We take responsibility for our actions and learn from our mistakes. Every child in every classroom is taught social and emotional learning using the evidence-based Second Step program. Parents can learn more about Second Step here.
We are supported by a strong PTA and parent community who are equally committed to these goals. As parents, you are key members of the Northmont Family. There are many ways to be involved in your child’s education at Northmont. I encourage you to learn more about our PTA and join here. We welcome parent volunteers on campus and hope you will join us for our events like Back to School Night, Fall Carnival, Paint kNights, Open House, and more.
Each Friday afternoon, I send out the Northmont Weekly Newsletter for the following week, which contains upcoming events, announcements, and ways to become involved in all things Northmont. I send the newsletter out via email and text message. Please take a few minutes to read the newsletter and stay up to date with information, flyers, and more.
I am very much looking forward to partnering with you. Thank you for choosing Northmont Elementary as your child’s school.
With gratitude,
Ed Gigliotti, Principal
